“He has got a fantastic strike on him and not only, he sees passes to create openings for his team-mates.”

What makes the form of Carey so impressive is that opposition team know he is the main attacking threat for Argyle but they have largely been unable to stop him.

Adams said: “I think the only way they would manage to do that is to man mark, and there isn’t a team we have come across that have done that this season.”

Carey must have been in contention to be nominated for the Sky Bet League One Player of the Year prize.

In the end, though, the three-man shortlist was made up of Blackburn Rovers’ Bradley Dack, Nick Powell or Wigan Athletic and Peterborough United’s Jack Marriott, who is the top scorer in the division with 25 goals.

Adams said: “Dack has done very well for Blackburn. They obviously took him for £750,000 (from Gillingham last summer).

“If you look at Powell, he is one of the highest paid players in the division and Marriott has been talked about of moving to the Championship.

“He has scored an outstanding rate of goals this season.

He added: “We are speaking about three very good players and Graham is in and around there.”
